Venus is evening star. On the 18th,
at midnight, the fairest of the stars
reaches her greatest eastern elongation,
and is then As degrees and 80 minutes
east OF the sun. She is at her most
distant point from the sun, and her
progress eastward is stopped. She
will be surprisingly lovely through the
whole month of July, but will lessen
the length OF her stay above the hori-
zon as she draws near the sun. On
the 1st Venus set nearly two hours and
a halt after the sun. On the 31st she
sets q little more than an hour and a
half after the sun.

Some RunaWaNs.

One Of StOry's hacks ana teams WAS
left in charge of q Mexican in front of
the Ranch saloon yesterday afternoon
about 6 O'Clock; while its driver went in
to collect bill. Suddenly the electric
light fared out, and the glare fright, led
the horses, who dashed up DOlorosa
street and straight across Main plaza TO
Wolfson's White Elephant clothing
store. Just before they ran inside one
of the doors they brought up suddenly
against one OF the hollow iron columns
of the awning and knocked it down.
This checked the animals and knocked
the breath out OF one. This runaway
started three more from among the We
hicles on the plaza, and one, small
wagon, was runaway with across the
plaza to ChabOt q CressOn's corner,
where, after overturning a buggy in the
way, broke of the hydrant at the cor
ner. No one was Injured, and strange
to say, very little damage was done the

"Have you observed the new gait
adopted by fashionable ladies while out on
q promenade?' asked u Fifth avenue
modiste OF a reporter recently.
Seeing a look of bewilderment on the
reporters face, she continued: You
know that fashions change in walking
Just as they do in everything else. Even
young men change their manner Of walk
ing according to the whims OF fashion. A
short time ago it was the thing for fashion
able young men TO poke along on tiptoe in
a sort Of gingerly way. That was when
the dude was in his glory. Now the dude
has departed, and his walk has gone with
him / believe a brisk, businesslike stride
is the proper thing now. The correct walk
for girls, until very recently, was a kind of
long, easy lope. i think that Mrs. Potter
was the originator Of this. 1t was quickly
copied by many actresses. Pauline Hall
and Patrice have it to perfection. Any
how, it was awfully popular last winter
on the avenue and has been all the go at
the watering places this summer. 1t was
very graceful and pretty, but 1t has got
to GO.
1.-THE new walk Is neither graceful nor
pretty. 1t is a kind of a waddle. The
would be fashionable young lady now
walks as il she had 10 joints nor frmness
TO her. Every part OF her anatomy seems
to shake n wiggle as she goes. She
comes down hard first on one foot and
then on the other, seeming to rest her
body alternately on each of her neither
limbs. Her cheeks wabble and so do her
arms. l don't know any better way to
describe 1t than to say she waddles like q
fat duck. don't know who is the origi-
nator Of this fashion, but it is evidently
going TO be the thing this winter. All the
girls put it on with their fall bonnets, and
all over the streets you can see the little
dears trying their best to be ungraceful in
their efforts to be up to the latest fad"

The Beauties of Venice.

One sees a number Of pretty girls among
the Venetians, some with large blue eyes
and beautiful Titan hair, which in the sun
light resembles molten gold, and Others
with raven locks so black that not even
the powerful rays Of the sun can bring
out any color from it, and with eyes that
ook like black shining beads.
The greatest beauties seem TO be among
he peasants, who know how to artistic
lily frame their faces with their dark lace
veils, thus greatly enhancing the fine eff
feet Of their clear cut features, beautiful
yes and lovely hair, but unfortunately
hey often spoil 1t all by too much rouge
nd powder, some ever going SO far as to
owder their hair.
The tide is coming in and a number OF
Fenetian bellies are sporting in the waves,
nile their friends look admiringly on
rom the pavilion, and two boatmen in
heir gondola with life preservers watch
TO see that they do not venture out beyond
the ropes, and are ready to lend assistance
IL necessary. The costumes worn are very
light and allow free action Of the limbs.
